SKKIL  iiifnmmtion  for  those  interested  in  the  erection  of  buildings,  artistic  as  well  ns  durable.    Mucli  money  has  been  spent 
[^  on  larjfe  buildintrs.  witlmut  considering  progressive  ideas  of  construction,  or  pleasing  effects  In  arciiitpcturc.    One  of  the 

uriMtisi  iKiints  to  be  considcreil  is  the  scleiitilic.  as  well  as  the  practical  nianipulatioii  of  all  raw  material  entering  into  these  structures. 
Long  ex|)erience  has  taught  me  thai  nothing  is  too  good  in  tlie  way  of  material,  ami  1  span'  no  time,  or  expense  to  secure  tlie 
iMfSt  results  ol)ialnal)le  In  preparing  the  plans  and  specitications,  and  superintending  the  c<mstructioii.  You  may  have  an  elegant  set 
of  plans,  and  if  tlie  builder dix-s  not  follow  them,  the  owner  is  the  loser.  ;iiid  the  architect  has  to  shoulder  the  blame.  .So  many  of  our 
profession  understand  the  theory  but  are  unable  to  put  the  same  Into  jiractical  execution. 

On  the  following  pages  of  this  pamphlet  will   !»■  found  a    few  suggestions   to  the   public,  also  cuts  of  a    few   buildings  executed 
In  my  ofllce. 

The  advertisement*  th.it  apjtear  In  this  catalogue  n-pre.sent  the  very  best  firms  in  their  respective  lines  and  .solicit  first  class  wcirk. 
Parties  who  desire  g<Hid  work  :in<l  low  prices  will  do  well  to  c4)rrespond  wilh  them.

Varnish   in  Arehitecture. 


n   WORD    POH  THE    CLiIEHT. 

There  would  be  fewer  mistakes  made  in  the  world  if  it  were  ordained  that  only  the  maker  of  a 
mistake  should  suffer  the  consequences.  More  care  would  be  exercised,  and  a  more  perfect  state  of  affairs 
would  prevail  if  ever^'  man  had  to   bear  the   whole   brunt  of  his  own    errors  or   miscalculations. 

Take  the  interior  finishing  of  a  house  for  instance,  if  a  poor  or  unsuitable  varnish  is  used  for  the 
woodwork,  the  real  sufferer  is  neither  the  Architect  who  specified  it,  the  Contractor  or  the  Finisher,  but 
the  Owner  who  has  no  practical  knowledge  of  Varnish,  and  who  had  nothing  whatever  to  do  with 
making  the  blunder. 

It  is  largely  within  the  power  of  the  Architect  to  protect  his  client  from  becoming  the  victim  of  a 
mistake  of  this  kind  by  carefully  specifying  the  right  Varnish. 

If  Hard  Oil  Finish  is  specified  and  used,  the  result  will  be  the  finest  finish  attainable  on  wood,  but 
it  should  be  remembered  b}'  both  Architect  and  Client  that  there  is  no  Hard  Oil  Finish  but  "Berry 
Hrothers'  Hard  Oil  Finish",  and  scaled  cans  bearing  our  label  should  be  insisted  upon. 

Finished  woods  and  interesting  pamphlets  on  natural  wood  finishing  sent  free  to  any  address  upon 
application.

The  above  cut  shows  the  appearance  of  Willer's  latest  success  in  bliuds  for  our  Soutlieni  climate  as  in  the  window.  This  blind  slides 
up  and  down  in  the  window;  special  {grooved  guideways  are  furnished  in  which  the  lower  bar  slides.  This  bar  is  provided  with  adjustable 
springs  at  both  ends  concealed  from  view,  which  bear  against  a  wooden  friction  block  sliding  in  these  grooves  of  the  gui<leways. 

To  open  the  blind  you  take  hold  of  the  lower  bar  and  lift  it,  and  the  blind  will  remain  in  any  desired  position.  It  cannot  blow  back
